Her statement is being taken COMPLETELY out of context just to get people worked up about stereotypes. If you listen to the full radio interview you’ll hear that she was referring to the gay people on her team (ie:specific individuals) not gay people on general

Why are gay some people so keen to take offence over what is a compliment, however banal and superficial it might be. She could instead have said gay men are spiteful and self-pitying drama queens – and she’d have been right about a vocal minority.

as a gay man I feel encouraged and fortunate that there are so many popular and talented – or at least popular and sucessful… – female singers, actors etc – who speak up for gay people to what is always going to be a predominantly heterosexual public. Personally I’m grateful to Britney, Gaga, Madge and – co for repeatedly speaking positively about LGBT people and their rights, and I also think they’ve each released some damn fine songs.

The ‘bitter queen’ act by a section of gay men about Britney and co is truly pitiful. Don’t like her records? Fine. Just stop taking offence at nothing.

Dave, you have proved Roberts point perfectly, To regard one form of art as trash just becasue it is not your personal taste smacks of someone very short sighted and bitter. Classics of our day were referred to as popular trash in their day.

The point is she has always been positive about us, why be mean towards her.

We have much bigger issues than worrying what a pop star thinks, even though in this case it wasn’t even offensive. Get out and protest against the Gulf States and other tainted Islamic states, the backward murderous bigots in Christian Africa, the Koch brothers funded maniacs in the “tea party” in America, and Mr fascist wannabe Putin.

This story is ridiculous. She said that her team had gay people in and that she finds them funny etc and so on… Why try to cause an issue when there clearly isn’t one. Stop trying to make things like this into a story PN as it undermines genuine homophobia in society and makes the gay community look like trouble makers.xx
